Included are all of the known works by Moses b. Hiyya, Joseph b. Jacob Qalai, and Isaac b. Judah, collected from rare manuscripts and printed editions and from Geniza collections at Oxford and Cambridge. These works provide the evidence that the Balkan synagogue poets favored distinctive literary forms even as they show the strong influence of the Hispanic-Hebrew writers. Completing the volume are indexes of rabbinic, Aramaic, and payyetanic usages and tables of metonymical terms.Judaic studies series.Hebrew poetryHebrew literatureHebrew poetry.Hebrew literature.296.4Weinberger Leon J622672Newlin Nick1463531MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781120503321Bulgaria's synagogue poets3730354UNINA
